Nights Like This
Letra:
[English]
You act like you need remindin'
Tryna do it over, bring it back and rewind it
But all that glitters isn't gold, I was blinded
Should have never gave you my heart on consignment
And I can't believe the lies that I went for
Thought you was mine, but you decided to be with him though
You took my feelings and just threw 'em out the window
Feel like it's too hard to fall in love again, no
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love?
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
All them times I played the fool for you
Thinking we could put it back together, thought we had forever
You never see my point of view
Our connection is so severed, you don't show no effort
And I can't believe the lies that I went for
Thought you was mine, but you decided to be with him though
Took my feelings and just threw 'em out the window
Feel like it's too hard to fall in love again, no
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love?
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
Just gon' tell me more lies, girl
Just gon' get my hopes high, girl
I've been way too good to you, you take me for granted
You was my day one since back at Big B's house on Adams
First day that we met, I flagged you down, I told you, hit my line
Used to promise me you'd never switch on me like Gemini
You think I'm a fool, ain't nobody stupid
I see all the signs, I see all the clues
Yeah, sometimes I reminisce 'bout that shit when I'm binging
Can't believe it's been a whole year, yeah, but
On some nights like this, shawty, I can't help but think of us
I've been reminiscin', sippin', missin' ya (Missing ya)
Can you tell me what's with all this distant love? (Love)
If I called, would you pick it up?
On some nights like this, I just wanna text you, but for what?
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up (Switch it up)
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
You gon' get my hopes high, girl
Just gon' tell me more lies, girl
Just gon' get my hopes high, girl

Gramática:
-
You act like you need remindin'.
➔ Presente simple con 'act like' + gerundio
➔ La frase "act like" se usa para describir un comportamiento que se asemeja a otra cosa. Aquí, sugiere que la persona se está comportando como si "need reminding" (necesitara que se le recordara). Reminding (gerundio) actúa como el objeto de la preposición 'like'.
-
All that glitters isn't gold, I was blinded.
➔ Proverbio; voz pasiva ('I was blinded')
➔ "All that glitters isn't gold" es un proverbio común que significa que las apariencias pueden ser engañosas. "I was blinded" está en voz pasiva, lo que indica que una fuerza externa (probablemente el comportamiento de la otra persona) causó que el hablante no pudiera ver con claridad.
-
Should have never gave you my heart on consignment.
➔ Modal perfecto ('should have' + participio pasado) para arrepentimiento
➔ "Should have never gave" expresa arrepentimiento. El hablante siente que cometió un error al dar su corazón en "consignación". "Consignment" aquí significa dar algo pero reteniendo la propiedad legal hasta que se venda, lo que implica que fue cauteloso pero aún así salió herido.
-
If I called, would you pick it up?
➔ Segundo condicional (If + pasado simple, would + infinitivo)
➔ Esta es una oración condicional de segundo tipo, que se utiliza para hablar sobre una situación irreal o hipotética en el presente o el futuro. Implica que el hablante duda si la persona contestaría el teléfono si llamara.
-
You gon' say you want me, then go switch it up
➔ Futuro con 'gon' (going to); verbo frasal ('switch it up')
➔ 'Gon'' es una abreviatura coloquial de 'going to', que se usa para expresar la intención futura. "Switch it up" es un verbo frasal que significa cambiar algo, a menudo de una manera inesperada. La oración describe un comportamiento inconsistente.
-
Just gon' play with my emotions just because, no (Oh)
➔ Uso de "just" para énfasis; futuro informal ("gon' play"); cláusula de razón ("just because")
➔ La palabra "just" se usa aquí para enfatizar, lo que indica la frustración del hablante. "gon' play" es una pronunciación informal de "going to play," que indica una acción futura. La frase "just because" indica que no hay una razón real para el comportamiento de la otra persona más allá de su propio capricho.
-
Used to promise me you'd never switch on me like Gemini
➔ Used to + infinitivo; condicional would
➔ "Used to promise" indica un hábito pasado o una acción repetida que ya no es cierta. "You'd never switch on me" es una contracción de "you would never switch on me", expresando una promesa. La comparación "like Gemini" hace referencia al signo astrológico conocido por tener dos caras.
